A new word today for Sarah and Van: HUTAN = jungle.

So if i say babi hutan, what will that make out of the pig? A pig that lives in a jungle right? And what do you get out of that?………

A wild boar!

Congratulations! You just passed your first test. So another word to be added to your vocabulary is babi hutan.(=wildboar)

Geeeeeez. Get over the topic of babi already! I wanted to write about something else; like how broken-hearted I was when I broke my flask. Do NOT say "already??"!!! I've had plenty of "already?"s already. (Erin, I'm sooo going to hold you on that pink flask promise. Hehe. Main2 je!)

But nahh, am not gonna bore you with more of my "acts of gracelessness" stories coz I'm pretty sure y'all are very much familiar with it by now.

The e-mail my brother gave me this morning is far more interesting than that. An interesting e-mail from my super busy 32-yr-old brother?? Seeing that he is a man of few words when it comes to e-mailing, it is not that surprising that he can render an e-mail, which reads a mere sentence, interesting. Coz a man of few words sure loves attaching photos! lol. His e-mail simply reads : "babi hutan masuk dalam kolam last week." No "hi, bye, apekaba" bullshit. Straight to the pictures. (I adore your style abg!haha)

I know the pictures are quite small, but the photos would be blurry if enlarged. Yo bro, it's high time for you to get a good digital camera lah!

I can't imagine the reaction of whoever it was that discovered the wild boar in the pond. Can you imagine walking towards the pond with the hope of enjoying the tranquility of watching the koi fishes swim in the pond and then suddenly, "ghhooorrrkkkkkkkk''!!!! A big black creature emerges from the water. Yikessssss! If it was my niece, I'm sure the whole of Kuala Lumpur would have heard her. But whoever it was, rest assured he/she won't be going to that pond for quite awhile from now on. I can imagine the trauma. Brrrrrr. But it must have been quite a havoc when that happened! I wish i was there. The kids must have been so amused by the wild boar's presence.

Mana plak abang kau angkut mat salleh tuh ha Jid? He is the son of my brother's neighbour actually. They moved to Malaysia like 2 yrs ago from the States. They can converse in Malay fluently now. Cool eh? Very kind of him to have helped get the poor wild boar out of the pond. And no, the other guy in the picture with the side parted hair is not my brother, thank you. Abang, i sure hope u helped the men get the boar out of your pond! If not, gone la all your manliness. Haha.
What are the chances of finding a boar in your pond eh? This will surely go down Taman Melawati's history.

To K.shima and K.lin, thank God your gardens are pond-less. If not Aniq would have joined in with his Pumba and Najla would have bullied the boar silly!
